Here are the 2027 Independent school point guards to track this July.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1454276' first='Blake' last='Hargrove'], 6'1 Hun</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hargrove has the ability to play on and off the ball and should put it on display this month. The 6'1 guard has a smooth shooting stroke and can make shots off the catch or bounce. Hargrove can also get into the paint off the bounce and finishes nicely around the basket. He is a solid passer and uses his quick hands to get deflections on defense. Hargrove has the ability to put up points in bunches and should put that on display this month.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2344520' first='Noah' last='Johnson'], 6'0 Pennington</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson has been running the offense for Pennington over the last two years and will continue to do that in July. The 6'0 guard has a tight handle, which he uses to get to his spot on the floor and rarely gets rattled by on-ball pressure. Johnson threads passes to his open teammates in the half court and can also score in the mid-range. He can knock down open jumpers from behind the arc and slides his feet on the defensive end. Johnson is a true point guard prospect who should run the offense effectively throughout the course of the month.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2284385' first='Jordan' last='Moton'], 6'2 Peddie</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moton is an intriguing guard prospect as he can make plays at both ends of the floor. The 6'2 guard attacks the basket with a purpose as he finishes strong around the rim and can make shots through contact. Moton can also score in the mid-range and sets his feet before he shoots. He has the length to defend both backcourt spots and is an underrated rebounder. Moton is a talented guard prospect who should impact the game at both ends of the floor over the next couple of weeks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2202023' first='Frankie' last='Hoynowski'], 6'1 College Achieve</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hoynowski has had a solid spring and should carry it over into July. The 6'1 guard has a good handle, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and can finish in a variety of ways around the rim. Hoynowski can also score in the mid-range and has a good shooting stroke. He is a tough on-ball defender and finds his open teammates in the half court. Hoynowski is a gritty guard prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor during the month of July.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2875236' first='Jayden' last='Lau'], 6'3 Lawrenceville</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lau is primed for a big July with his ability to make plays with the ball in his hands. The 6'3 guard has a quick first step, which he uses to blow by his defender off the bounce and finishes well around the rim. Lau can also score in the mid-range and uses his size to see over his defender. He has the size to defend both back court spots and pushes the pace well in transition. Lau picked up an offer from Sacred Heart this June and is looking to expand his offer sheet over the course of July.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
